Elcock refused to say whether CSIS has any kind of relationship with Syria specifically, citing national security concerns.

Elcock assured the commission that CSIS agents are carefully chosen, highly trained and good at what they do.

"We may well have agreements with other countries we suspect engage in torture," Elcock told a public inquiry yesterday, adding that such information exchanges with such countries are done "very carefully."
